Russell to Rahul, FOUR runs, short of a length on off, gets a little big on him as he shifts back in his crease and then opens the face of the bat a tad to place it through third man
Russell to Rahul, FOUR runs, sharp swing away from the right-hander, but look at that for a shot. Rahul gets a long stride across to cover for all the movement and then leans into a drive as he caresses it through covers
END OF OVER:
1 | 9 Runs | KXIP: 9/0 (183 runs required from 19 overs, RR: 9.00, RRR: 9.63)
- CH Gayle0 (3b)
- KL Rahul9 (3b)
Shivam Mavi to Gayle, no run, that’s the best of the lot. On a length and subtle movement off the deck as he nearly shaves Gayle’s outside edge
Shivam Mavi to Gayle, no run, short of a length, drifts away a long way and has him beaten
Shivam Mavi to Gayle, no run, top stuff! Pitches it right up to Gayle and then gets it to swing away. Luckily for Gayle, he had his bat well inside the line
Shivam Mavi to Rahul, 1 run, short of a length, cutting in, off the inside of the bat to square leg
Shivam Mavi to Rahul, FOUR runs, beautiful shot! Width on offer, and Rahul meets the pitch with half a stride forward and then uses his arms to punch it through cover and point
Shivam Mavi to Rahul, FOUR runs, ah, streaky! Curves in a long way from a length and finds the inside edge of Rahul as he strides forward and screams away to the fine leg boundary
5.58pm Alright then, we’re back. If there any two opening batsmen who can put Kings XI on course to chasing this target, it’s KL Rahul and Chris Gayle.
END OF OVER:
20 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 191/7 | RR: 9.55
- Shubman Gill14 (8b)
- PP Chawla2 (2b)
- AJ Tye4-0-30-2
- BB Sran4-0-50-2
5.45pm Despite KKR’s domination, Kings XI would feel like they have the momentum going into the break. Chris Lynn showed his old form with a well-constructed innings but Tye and co pulled things back towards the end. Only 45 runs scored off the last five overs, so KKR would feel disappointed on not getting to 200. Who’ll come out strong in the second innings? Find out with Akshay Gopalakrishnan in a few.
Tye: “Executed my skills better. Full credit to Lynn, but nice to pull it back in the end. The score’s on-par.”
Meanwhile, tennis fans in the Indian subcontinent can watch Rafael Nadal in action in the semis of the Monte Carlo Masters here.
Tye to Shubman Gill, 1 run, drops the length this time. Good length on off stump, and Gill comes dancing down the wicket. Tapped towards cover, and they complete the single. Knight Riders finish on 191 for 7
Tye to Chawla, 1 run, yes, they can! Full on off stump, and Chawla drives it over the non-striker’s head to long off. What an excellent final over from Tye. Can he finish off well?
David: “Can KKR reach 190?”
Tye to Shubman Gill, 1 run, full just outside off, and Gill drills this down the ground to long on. They can’t take the second, so Chawla’s back on strike
Tye to Chawla, 1 run, poor from Mujeeb! Drops this at short third man. It was slow and short outside off, and Chawla tried to ramp it over short third man. Slices it, but a lazy effort from Mujeeb
Tye to Chawla, 1 wide, full and wide outside off, and takes the pace off the delivery. He’s forced to reach at it, but can’t get bat to ball. The umpire, however, thinks it’s a wide
Tye to Curran, OUT, Yorker outside off stump, and Curran sticks his bat out. Takes a thick outside edge, and goes straight and flat to short third man. Even the fielder is surprised, by the looks of it
TK Curran c Rajpoot b Tye 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
Tye to Curran, no run, slower ball to start the over. Full outside off, and Curran’s slog towards the leg side doesn’t come off. Through to Rahul on the bounce
Final over. Can KKR reach 200?
END OF OVER:
19 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 186/6 | RR: 9.78
- TK Curran1 (1b)
- Shubman Gill12 (6b)
- BB Sran4-0-50-2
- AS Rajpoot3-0-32-0
Manav: “Give the young lad a little break. Barinder had a decent season with SRH and one bad game doesn’t make him a bad bowler.”
Sran to Curran, 1 run, good length on middle, but angling across Curran. Carves it off the back foot to Mujeeb at deep point
Bhargav Sura: “@Kapil, captaincy is an art, not many possess it, not even Kohli. Best captains I have seen are Waugh, Dhoni, Cronje, Ranatunga, Graeme Smith, Fleming, Saurav Ganguly.”
Sran to Karthik, OUT, rolls his fingers over this one again, and this time DK’s leg-side heave has been taken in the deep. Deceived by the (lack of) pace, and Tye at deep backward square does the rest
KD Karthik c Tye b Sran 43 (28b 6×4 0x6) SR: 153.57
